SAFETY FEATURES

The Crossfire comes standard with a number of advanced safety features; however, to ensure maximum safety install the stove according to all national and local codes and follow all operating and maintenance procedures. The Crossfire requires a fresh air supply to ensure proper combustion. This fresh air is used in the combustion process to achieve thorough burn of all fuel. The Crossfire needs a sealed and properly designed exhaust flue system. This exhaust flue will be used to remove combustion gasses outside the home. REMEMBER: one of the leading causes of house fires is due to improper installation or improper operation of a stove product. Proper installation and operation of the Crossfire is required to obtain Homeowner insurance coverage. And, the Crossfire needs a reliable source of electrical power. Without reliable utility power or a means to ensure reliability, the Crossfire operation will be problematic.

It will require some effort and learning for the homeowner to thoroughly understand the operating characteristics of the Crossfire. More importantly, the operator needs to know how to control each one of the stove’s operations. The Crossfire has an electronic control system whose “brain” is constantly monitoring stove operations in order to ensure fuel combustion efficiency and to ensure maximum heat output of this product. The Crossfire’s electronic control provides a simple one stop location for the homeowner to control Crossfire performance. To ensure safe operation, the Crossfire’s electronic control is constantly monitoring pressure and heat activated switches, and input power to ensure proper operation. Additional features include an enclosed firebox, high temperature ceramic glass, optional thermostatic control, a high temperature wiring harness, making the Crossfire an extremely safe stove.
